Contact Open Dental support prior to setup or when troubleshooting any VixWin related issues.

Gendex VixWin is imaging software. Website: dexis.com.

The recommended bridge is VixWin (numbered). When using this bridge, images are stored in subdirectories based on Open Dental patient number, thus eliminating all performance issues linked to other VixWin versions. The last two numbers in the PatNum identify the first directory level. The second directory level is named the full PatNum. If currently using a different VixWin bridge, see Other VixWin Bridges below.

Bridge Setup

Enter the necessary settings to enable this bridge. Only the fields that need edits are listed:

• Enabled: Check to enable this bridge.
• Path of file to open: The location of the program executable. Defaults to C:\VixWin\VixWin.exe.
• Additional Properties: Double-click a row to change settings.
  • Enter 0 to use PatientNum, or 1 to use ChartNum: Determine which identifier is used to launch the patient in the bridge.
  • Image Path: Location of the image path. Defaults to X:\VXImages\. The Image Path is required and must be a mapped drive letter. The same drive letter and path must exist on all workstations that use VixWin. In addition, each workstation's VixWin settings (Options, Preferences) must be set to Bridge mode using the same mapped drive letter.
    
    Note: VixWin does not recognize UNC paths. Use mapped drive letters.
• Text on button: (Optional) Enter the text that is displayed for the bridge button.
• Button Settings: Determine the visual behavior of the bridge button.
  • Hide Button for Clinics: If using clinics, determine which clinics this button should and should not display for.
  • Add a button to these toolbars: Determine which toolbars this button should display under. Defaults to ChartModule.
